What does PocketAthlete actually do?

You log each morning: sleep, soreness and fatigue. It scores your readiness, adjusts that day's session, and builds four-week training blocks around your sport, your position and the equipment you have.

Is it only for footballers?

No. It covers football, rugby, basketball, running, weightlifting and general gym training, with position-specific work for the team sports.

No. Tell it what you have and it programs around it. Many of the technical drills need nothing but a ball and a wall.

Can it work around an injury?

It works around soreness you log and avoids body parts you tell it to leave alone. It is general training information, not medical advice — see a physiotherapist for a diagnosis.

Overhead Cable Curl

The overhead position keeps the biceps under tension where they are shortest, which a normal curl never does.

What it works

Biceps

How to do it

1Stand between two high pulleys, arms out at shoulder height.
2Curl the handles toward your ears, squeezing hard at the top.
3The overhead position peaks the biceps under tension in the shortened range — light weight, hard squeeze.
